8. Smoking a cigar or pipe

Everett Collection

Smoking a pipe or cigar is sort of like appreciating fine Scotch: There's an art to it, it's a really old behavior with its own culture and if you're aiming for serious cigar aficionado cred, it's going to cost you an arm and a leg. Of course, as a meaningful ritual, it doesn't have to be like that at all. If you have memories of your dad or grandfather having a cheap cigar on the porch or smoking cherry tobacco, doing the same will have value in itself. Budgeting yourself time to reflect is what's important here, and if a cheap, nostalgia-inspiring cigar does that for you, then so be it.
